In my early life, I was a professional folk singer. I used to sing on the national television and radio in Canada. Nobody knows that - but now I've said it, haven't I? I'm strictly a shower singer at the minute.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always been a singer, but I don't know if I was always a natural performer.
The truth is, I initially became a singer-songwriter while still in my teens because it was the only way to guarantee that somebody on earth would sing the songs I was writing. Since then, I've performed just about everywhere: rock clubs, concerts halls, arenas, TV.
I grew up singing. My mother was a music teacher.
Originally I considered myself a singer.
I always thought I was a singer, but I really am not.
I was just a folk singer. I cut my teeth on the streets, you know.
I've sung in the shower for years.
I started singing in coffeehouses when I was still in high school, in Santa Barbara. I took a job washing dishes and busing tables in the coffeehouse, so I could be there, and would beg permission to sing harmony with the guy who was singing onstage. That was the first time I ever got on a stage in front of people.
I sang in the coffee houses of the country in the early '60s with no idea of success in terms of records or television. I just thought I was a storyteller. I didn't even think of myself as a singer.
I have sung, but I haven't sung in any way that I would ever call myself 'a singer.'
